The Purpose of this Q&A session is to give participants the opportunity to discuss and review the presentations given in the first half of the Learning Institute course. Course attendees will have the chance to discuss potential reasearch projects using the MEPS data and get answers to technical questions that may have arisen over the course of the overview, condition, use and expenditure, health insurance, and analytic tool presentations. Participants will be able to question the presenters in detail about the structure and design of the MEPS public use data files.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to identify potential research projects that could utilize the MEPS data on the topics of expenditures, conditions, and health insurance.
